Hi Rik - I'm involved with a H2020 programme INTCATCH  that is developing not just tools but also innovative monitoring strategies so that those tools can be deployed effectively.  We are 11 months in but check out www.intcatch.eu website and out overview report. The key objective is to enable a range of new tools to be deployed in to support WQ investigations done by a range of stakeholders including citizen scientists, and in a 'strategy' (as opposed to a system,) that aims to deliver answers to investigation  questions in a systematic way. The pilot strategy is to be available for testing later this year, by the end of May.  In addition, the UK's Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) website https://www.catchmentbasedapproach.org  has a load of supporting information and advice that it provides to the catchment partnerships supporting the delivery of the Water Framework Directive.  One downloadable document is a on Citizen Science and Volunteer Monitoring and that includes reviews of monitoring equipment that is available - as well as smart phone apps.  My email is geoff@envsustain.co.uk best, Geoff
